T60 + dockinstation + 2 external displays

Hi,
I have little problem, when i connect LCD TV to docking station´s DVI my normal LCD display (VGA) start to flicker.
Without the DVI connector LCD display (VGA) runs normal. Any idea what is wrong?

try to clean the dock connector on your laptop, to make sure there is no build up of oxidation residues.

  • T60 2007-FUG ATI X1400 Windows 7 64-bit projector and external display problem

    I have Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise on my T60. I have tried to install many different ati drivers, but nothing seems to work. I cant use a projector or external display via VGA port. I heard that if I boot with a projector then it works ok.
    I have installed Ati Install Manager and so on. I have uninstalled drivers etc. I have search forums. I installed all updates from Lenovo site. BIOS is up to date. I installed X1400 driver from Windows update site. Driver date is 1.12.2008. I cant update it. Everything else works super.
    What to do?

    Looking at the ATI drivers on the T60 support site, I do not see one that supports Win7....don't know if there is a plan to.
    You probably have basic functionality with the Vista driver, but I would not imagine that all options will be available.
    If you cannot get the external VGA port to work through the Catalyst Control Center, then I would would chalk it up to a lack of Win7 support.

  • Thinkpad T60 external display not working

    Got a problem with attaching an external display to a thinkpad T60, it will not give a display at all on any external monitor with the FN F7 combination,
    The LCD goes black on the laptop screen, but nothing appears on the external monitor
    Its got an intel 945 graphics chip.
    Looks like a hardware problem to me, has anyone ever come across this?

    Have you tried upgrading the BIOS version...It solved partly a similar problem for me but I still have color problem.
    Is somebody know why there is 7 monitors displayed in device manager and how to know which of the 4 plug and play monitor is associated with my external screen???
    I have color problem with my View Sonic 2260 wm (on a Thinkpad T60 also). Strange problem and what is weird is that the problem go on and off...
    Thanks,

  • T60 win7 x1400 external monitor crashes...

    hi, i am running a t60 with x1400 and a postville ssd. at the moment my computer crashes regualry after a while when i connect an external monitor. doesn't matter if direct or via docking station. nor it makes a difference if i have to external monitors connected. short before the computer crashes the cursor will trasnform from a pointer to the thing you can see on the attached image. cursor will be still functional. up to 60 seco nds later the computer crashes showing a disturbed view on the monitor. you can't see the original content of the monitor anymore.  not shure if it helps preventing from crashing moving the mouse from left to right monitor and clicking right mouse button. sometimes the cursor recovers..

    I have the same problem on my T60P!  I am not having heat issues; I believe that the issue is that Lenovo has not released a Win7 x64 driver for the video card.  I have an ATI Mobility FireGL V5250, and the latest driver that windows can find is from 12/1/2008.  Lenovo has no driver for Win7 in their matrix, and the Vista driver will not work.  I have all other updates installed from Lenovo, and am running BIOS ver. 2.25
    Lenovo, PLEASE request an updated driver from ATI for these computers!
    ATI has the drivers written, it is just up to Lenovo to request the driver be compiled for our computers!  I run an external monitor via DVI-D at 1900x1200 resolution, and this causes the computer to crash at least 4-5 times per day.  Sometimes I get a BSOD, sometimes it locks up, sometimes it just goes black.  If I don't have an external display connected, I never have any issues.
    Lenovo, please support us!

  • Can not properly view cover flow in full screen in external display

    My mac is the new Mac book pro 15.4 inch screen and I connect my mac pro to external display e.g. Samsung LCD monitor 24 inches.
    The bug is that I can not PROPERLY view full screen (in external display) for some application e.g. iTunes, and Front Row.
    - When I use iTunes, I can not properly view Cover Flow view in full screen (in the external display screen) except the case of mirror display.
    - For Front Row, I can not view full screen in external display but only my mac display.
    However, for other DVD or VDO players, I can view movie on external display in full screen and I still be able to do other works on my mac screen.
    Please let me know how to solve it.

  • How do i use an external display with my macbook pro?

    How do I use an external display with a macbook pro?

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

  • Connecting a MacBook to an external display or projector

    I have tried to connect my MacBook to a projector and to a TV using the mini-DVI to Video adapter, both with the same poor results. Here's the steps I took:
    - Turned on the TV
    - Connected the video cable to the TV "video in"
    - Connected the video cable to the MacBook with the mini-DVI to vieo adapter
    - Opened the MacBook
    - Turned it on
    The MacBook boots up, the MacBook resolution changes and the video on the TV is distorted, showing essentially three images of the MacBook display. Any attempt to adjust the resolution using system preferences just makes it worse.
    Has anyone had success using a MacBook for presentations using either a TV or a projector and, if so, what procedure do you use to connect?

    Greetings from Hong Kong-
    I have a major presentation to give in a couple of days and have NOT been successful connecting to an external display. I am starting to freak out. Any instructions would be helpful!

  • DVD player full screen on external display

    I'm looking for a way to play my DVD full screen on my external display while I can work in other apps on the main screen. Preferrably with Apple DVD Player (OS X 10.7 Lion in my case). Any ideas? Hidden settings perhaps?
    It's stuff like this makes feel let down by Apple. It's natural feature to want this like for instance when playing DVD on a big screen in front of an audience and prepare something on the main display for viewing.

    I know I can do this already with VLC. For some discs that don't play well in VLC I'd prefer DVD Player though.

  • Disconnecting from external display changes background, disconnect server shares, inactivates desktop icons.

    I have a user working on a MacBook Pro, Lion OS X 10.8.2, connected to an external display. When disconnecting from the external display the background picture changes, he can’t open documents saved to desktop, and the connection to the server shares is lost.  Rebooting does not resolve the issue while it is disconnected from the external display.  If he reconnects the MacBook back to the external monitor sometimes he has to reboot to get everything back to normal.  It almost seems like it is logging him into a different account or profile or something like that (please excuse my messy terminology as most of our users are still using PCs).  However if you look at what account is logged in, it is still the same account that he logged in with that morning.  The Mac is not authenticating to the network, just connecting to server shares.  Has anyone experienced this issue before and if so is there a fix for it?

    The Mac has a long history of assuming that ANY adapter still present means the display is still present -- you need to remove the adapter as well as the cable, if present.
    So my theory articulated above is that the disconnect is not registered correctly. This would mean that the second display is still seen as present. You could check this by invoking:
    System Preferences > Displays ...
    and looking for the Arrange pane (shown above) which is ONLY present when multiple displays are attached. More detailed information can be found in About this Mac  > ( More info ) Graphics & Displays ...

  • Disconnecting MacBook from external display

    Is there anyway to disconnect the Applr LED external display from the MacBook pro without having to shut all the way down or is is safe to just yank the mini display out while running?

    I've always just unplugged the display with no problem. The screen may go dark for a second as the system brings all the open windows over to the one screen (if you are using it as a second monitor instead of mirroring), but that's about all.
    The only thing you have to watch out for is if you have any USB peripherals that are connected via the monitor. Then you need to be more careful.

  • HT4108 Unable to read a movie from my iPad to an external display

    Hi everyone,
    I fear the worst here. I downloaded a TV show from iTunes and watched it fine on my external display (a full blown HD tv). Then I downloaded an HD movie from the iTunes store but my iPad2 says it's unable to play protected content. What gives ???
    Is there a work-around to this or does my gut-feeling tell me Apple has restricted the use of an external display for some commercial reason ?
    What's the point of buying full HD content if you can't watch it on full HD gear ?
    Thanks for your thoughts on this !

    try this:

    Nov 20, 2011 10:41 AM (in response to hoppo72)
    One workarwound is to do the following:
    1. Remove the digital content from iTunes (but keep the files)
    2. Rename all .m4v files to .mp4 files
    3. Add the files back to iTunes
    This seems to fix the problem for me
    Hope this helps

  • How can I use an external display with my MBP lid closed and disconnected to power?

    I know that I can use an external display when my MBP lid is closed and it is connected to power. I was wondering why it does not work when the power cable is removed.
    I only use an external display when I am at home so my MBP acts like a Mac Pro or Mac Mini in that way, but it is not good to leave the battery charging constantly on a MBP so I want to disconnect the power and use external display and have the lid closed. Is this possible or do I have to leave my lid open when running on battery power?

    I'm plugged into my wall socket at least 90% of the time - probably more. I always make sure that I take my MBP off mains about once every two weeks and let it run down to about 30-40% and then plug it back up. This keeps the ions flowing and the battery healthy. My MBP will be one year old on March 20, 2013, and my battery health is still at 99%. I run in clamshell mode most of the time now - since I bought a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display. Only occasionally am I off mains - and then because I'm exercising my battery, usually.
    Don't worry about running of mains most of the time - just be sure and unplug about once every two weeks (or twice a month) and let your battery dip to the 30-40% mark and you'll be fine.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How can I disable the internal display on my MacBook Pro with connected external display?

    I used this metod with the MagSafe power cable connected (see http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/15/yet-another-way-to-turn-off-internal-lcd-display- of-macbook-pro-with-lid-open/).
    Open System Preferences and click “Mission Control”, then click on “Hot Corners”
    Select a hot corner and pull down the menu to select “Put Display to Sleep”
    Now connect the external display to the Mac and move the cursor to the newly created sleep corner to turn off the internal display
    Close the MacBook lid and wait a few seconds before opening the lid again, the internal display should stay off while the external display will be powered on
    This worked great under Mac OS X 10.7.4, but after the last update to 10.7.5 it doesn’t work more. The built-in display turns off really, but a few seconds after opening the lid it lights up again. Do you have any suggestions? Dimming the brightness or clamshell mode is not very useful.

    I have the same problem: not able to work with my external display mirroring the internal one - while shutting the internal display off.
    I believe there is an issue with Mac OS X Lion 7.5 that Apple needs to solve, since apparently it does not happen with this version of the OS only...

  • How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation?

    How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation? I do not want to go to the projector just to turn it off and turn on again after a while? Is there a keyboard shortcut for that?

    I want to be able to sleep the external display and at the same time do things in the MacBook.( This feature is useful for me so that I can prepare some things and so that my audience will not see what I am about to show them.)
    Is there a feature for Mountain Lion?
